Songs: Hong Kong (I Can't Help it - Bananarama) Dominican Republic (Love In the first Degree - Bananarama) Mexico (Holiday - Kool and the Gang) USA (Tell It to My Heart - Taylor Dayne) Japan (Sweet Love - Anita Baker) Thailand (I Heard a Rumour - Bananarama) Korea (Forever - Kool and the Gang) Colombia (Light up my heart - Angie St.Philip) Norway (Victory - Kool and the Gang) Venezuela (Stone Love - Kool and the Gang)
I doubt they will use this format again because they will have to pay royalties to those who own the publishing rights of the songs. Back then they could afford it.
It's amazing how these 4 Asian candidates made it to top 5, since only one among the panel of judges came from Asia. Miss USA is my favorite here and earned the highest score in preliminary. Oriental people believe the "8" is a lucky number though 1988 is also a year of the dragon.
¡Cómo me encanta este segmento de la edición de este concurso celebrado en Taiwan! De allí que no me canse de ver incluso el show completo,una y otra vez,y asignarle un rinconcito especial en mi álbum de los 80.Y es que la elección de las 10 semi finalistas ya dejaba entrever el sorpresón con las asiáticas.Indudablemente miss Tailandia- la triunfadora- con su sonrisa encantadora y su forma de posar,tenia que resultar la merecedora del galardón!!
The same judges that placed Miss USA first in the preliminaries eliminated her in the semifinals, why? In the interview he said that she admired Barbara Bush !!!!! But unfortunatly for her most of the judges were anti-bush. At that time the preliminaries jurors were the jurors throughout the contest.
Foi o miss universo mais extranho !!! Dos aos 60! 70 ! 80 ! 90 ! Elas eram feias !!! Sgo so tailandia se salvavav!! Miss u s a linda republica domenkicana ! Linda !! Esse concurso foi armacao !! ! Rolou dinheiro $$$$$$$😂
My mother commented how the traditional qi pao dresses looked so good on western women like Miss Norway. Too bad she gave one of the worst semi finals interview ever. I wonder how Bob Barker would’ve handled her if he were hosting. It is known he showed a lot of favoritism in his interviews.
Miss Universe 1988 was dominated by Asian countries, because it was held in China, unfortunately Our very own Miss Phil. PERFIDA LIMPIN didn't make it to be in semi finalist, it's seem Phil was underdog in China.

sathiel ramos “east Asian” people . The term “oriental” is not politically correct .

You mean Nancy Reagan. I don’t know why her interview was scored so low but it ultimately cost her the crown.
